Kids Say the Darnedest Things About Unfamiliar Places

Before
a big holiday, I'll often ask my students if they get to go someplace
exciting over the break. They will often return the inquiry, and I'll
respond with the name of the Houston suburb where my parents currently
reside. But those who are unfamiliar with that area don't always believe
this place is real...

KID: So are you going anywhere? ME: I am; I'm going to Sugar Land. KID: Sugar Land--isn't that in a board game? ME: That would be Candy Land.
